Question

$$5+14a=9a-5...........a=$$

Solve for a

$a=-2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $9a$ from both sides.

$$5+14a-9a=-5$$

Combine $14a$ and $-9a$ to get $5a$.

$$5+5a=-5$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$5a=-5-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $-5$ to get $-10$.

$$5a=-10$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$a=\frac{-10}{5}$$

Divide $-10$ by $5$ to get $-2$.

$$a=-2$$
